Description

### Current behaviour
According to documentation
"In version 2 the `elevation` prop was accepted via `style` prop i.e. `style={{ elevation: 4 }}`.
It's no longer supported with theme version 3 and you should use `elevation` property instead."

But in reality, even if we use style with `elevation: 0`. it does not affect the button at all.

### Expected behaviour

After adding the style={{ elevation: 0 }} on M2 themed contained button it should not contain any shadows, and must behave like a flat button.

### How to reproduce?

- use Button component with `mode=contained`
- make sure to have theme version 2 enabled
- add `style={{ elevation: 0 }}` to the Button
